Our Most Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

We have compiled here a list of the most frequently asked questions (FAQ) about residential garage makeovers, along with their answers.

1. How much does it cost to renovate a residential garage in the Greater Montreal area? At Espace Garage Plus, the cost of renovating a residential garage in the Greater Montreal area starts at between $15,000 and $20,000, depending on the scope of the upgrade work (insulation, drywall, paint, lighting, heating, plumbing, and polyaspartic floor coating), plus storage cabinets, ceiling storage racks, PVC slatwall wall organizing surfaces, etc. Of course, the factors that will most influence the price of a bespoke, turnkey makeover are the condition of the garage, its size, the materials and products chosen, and the complexity of the installation.

2. What is the best floor covering for a residential garage in Quebec? In our opinion, polyaspartic is the best choice for an attractive, durable, and easy-to-maintain garage floor covering. It is resistant to deicing salts, oil stains, extreme temperature variations, and humidity. Unlike epoxy, it does not yellow and offers superior durability, making it ideal for our winter conditions.

3. How long does it take to install a bespoke and turnkey garage makeover? The complete installation of a garage makeover usually takes between 1 and 3 days, depending on the complexity of the project. The polyaspartic floor coating requires 1 to 2 days of work, including preparation, application, and drying time. Most storage products, depending on their number, can be installed in 2 days for a single garage and 3 to 4 days for a double garage. Your residential garage is generally usable as soon as the work is completed.

4. Does a well-organized garage increase the value of my property in the Greater Montreal area? Yes, a well-organized garage can definitely increase the value of your property. Prospective buyers are actively looking for homes with garages that offer organized and functional storage space, especially in urban areas where space is limited. A professionally well-organized garage is a major selling point and can speed up your real estate transaction.

5. Can a garage be well-organized in the winter in Quebec if it is not heated? We do not recommend investing in a bespoke and turnkey garage makeover if your garage is not heated, given the temperature variations typical of Quebec winters. However, a heated garage allows us to work even in winter. In fact, we install our flooring solutions, storage cabinets, overhead storage racks, and PVC slatwall wall organizing surfaces year-round, regardless of the season.

6. What are the most popular storage solutions for residential garages? The most popular storage solutions include bespoke melamine or laminate cabinets, modular steel cabinets, overhead storage racks, PVC slatwall organizing surfaces with hooks, racks, baskets, and steel shelves. Our customers particularly appreciate the vertical swivel bike racks, golf bags rack, wall-mounted tire rack, wall-mounted roof box racks, wall storage hitch for bike car rack, and wall storage reversible rack.

7. How do you maintain a polyaspartic garage floor covering after winter? Maintaining a polyaspartic garage floor covering after winter is simple: sweep away salt and sand residue, then clean with a mixture of warm water and mild soap. Avoid abrasive or acidic products that could damage the covering. Seasonal cleaning is sufficient to maintain its appearance and durability. Small scratches can also be easily touched up as needed using floor wax. With proper maintenance, your polyaspartic floor covering will retain its luster for many years.
